After Sheikh Hasina left the country, the whole country became turbulent. Among them, a group of overzealous mobs started acts of vandalism and violence. Last Monday, unfortunately, the house of the band leader and vocalist Rahul Anand was hit by an attack.
Water song has recently made a statement on social media. A song has been added. The song which is the last song recorded at Rahul's house. The statement is precisely-
Don't make a mark in your dream, don't make a bend in a straight line dream! Don't bend!'
This house at 32, Dhanmondi, Jagara Song, was not only Rahul Anand's residence; Anandpur was the dream home of the whole group. Where many songs, tunes, and hundreds of musical instruments born from grandfather's (Rahul's) thoughts have been created. Not only that. The house was also used as the official studio of Water Song. All the studio work - recording, mixing, editing - was done here, right from group music practice. Those who used to visit this house regularly, know that the white gate of Rahul Anand and Urmila Shukla's house was always open. It was not locked. Anyone, in any need, can reach Dada in that thought. And anyone who has visited this house at any part of the day is very familiar with one image, that of Rahul Anand sitting on the ground, rubbing the wood of his new musical instrument with a piece of paper in his hand.
Water music instrument. Rahul Anand is a constant striver towards big ideas and dreams. Our own musical instruments, made of our native wood. Is it just us? This party? Water song? No! This effort is for all budding musicians who believe - we can make our own instruments like our forefathers! This effort is of that individuality; By which the people of this country can say with pride, this is the unique sound wave played by our own musical instruments, which in the whole world, only on this soil of Bangladesh is ringing, making tunes, making dreams. The glimmer of a dream that draws another musician from distant France to our country. The eyes of millions of people all over the world fall in our country. In this house in Dhanmondi road number 32. However, the residence at this address is the reason why some people are so angry? Expression of so much anger? Everyone who has already been there or seen the post on Facebook knows the news.
Yes!-Rahul Anand and Urmila Shukla, and this home of all our favorite water songs is no more. All burned to ashes. But by the grace and blessings of God all the members of the house managed to come out with their lives and are now safe. But, apart from all the musical instruments, music records and official documents of Rahul Da and our team, the beds, racks and everything of Dada's family were burnt to ashes! All! The man who was thought to be constant by all was thrown out of his own house in one piece with his family. Its effect may be cherished for life in the mind of his child; Who is only 13 years old - it is difficult to think. Everything in the world of dreams built up for so long is burning in front of the eyes. In the fire of some people's anger and revenge!
We may be able to rebuild this musical instrument, song or arranged family after a long time. But, how to extinguish the fire of anger and revenge! Why can't we conquer everything with love and love? If we fail to come forward in the same way to protect the freedom we dream of, then we will sing our own songs in a broken heart in utter despair, humiliation and shame.
"What kind of dream is my black and white?
I live in darkness; You're welcome!"
May all souls be well. We also greet the dreams of the new future in the same way. But, don't break someone's dream with your shouts of joy and loud applause!
This song is the last song we recorded in this room. Nothing is left of what you see in the video. We were also united in the turbulent times. This last act, however, is a gift of joy to all. Jayatu water song.
It should be noted that Rahul and his team have always been active in various social and cultural movements. In solidarity with the anti-discrimination student movement, he stood with the musicians at Rabindra Sarovar in the capital along with his party members. However, his house was ransacked.
Rahul's fans' interest in his musical instruments was sky high. Many of them may have expressed their desire to come and see Rahul's musical instruments once. French President Emmanuel Macron went to his house! But that dream may never come true for Rahul's fans; Because Rahul's long hard work ended in an attack by a group of miscreants.
